It seemed nobody else noticed that anything was wrong.
Bryan and Wes were changing alright, and both noticed it, but it seemed nobody else did. Wes was blissful about it, but Bryan couldn't believe he was being left behind so quickly. He contemplated a few answers to this, but none of them really explained it. Maybe it was just taking a bit longer. And really, Bryan didn't have too much to be ashamed of any more. His body was now powerfully muscled, and when he flexed a bicep on his way to his next class, he could tell that he was at least as muscular as some of the jocks here.
It was just that he did not - under any circumstance - want to be left in the dust by his friend again. He just KNEW that Wes would pull a Ross and leave him behind when he got so far ahead.
"Hey man," Wes asked as the two of them headed for their third class, "Is something wrong?"
"No, nothing's wrong." Bryan easily replied.
"I mean, you're my best friend and if there's anything wrong..." Wes started, but Bryan shushed him with a gesture.
"C'mon man, don't be doing this to me like this. I'm no pussy." Bryan glowered, and this showed Wes he was most likely correct.
Wes sighed, "Dude, you're not a pussy for admitting if something's bothering you."
"Okay fine," Bryan breathed and put his hands up behind his neck, "I'm just...worried that if you keep growing so much bigger than me, you'll leave. Like Ross did. And just...ignore me. And then we'll graduate and never speak to each other again."
"Dude, no way!" Wes shook his head, "No way no how is that happening. We're friends. You just need to talk to me when things like this come up. And...I'm sure you'll be noticed. I mean, you ARE being noticed. Just...not quite verbally." Wes gestured around, "Have you seen the way people look at you? We're hot, we're handsome, and we're finally being treated like studs."
"...Yeah, you're right. You're right." Bryan sighed and shook his head, "Sorry I was being such an ass."
"No problem. In fact, I got an idea. How about we ask out some of the girls at lunch?" Wes smiled. Though before Bryan could say anything, the bell rang and both hurried off to class. Bryan admitted the idea was very appealing, and he would not have ever thought to say something like that.
When they went into class, Bryan could really see the differences in their reflections. Bryan's features were broader, stronger formed, and his smile complimented his powerful features. He was model hot - from head to toe. Even his hair seemed to look a little different. Hm. Something to contemplate.
Meanwhile Wes was broad and powerfully built now, his heavy set features moving nicely into the look of a muscular, hunky man.
Both Wes and Bryan found themselves looking at one another as class began. Wes could tell Bryan was still growing, and that was a very appealing look, whereas Bryan could tell Wes' own growth was slowing a bit, Bryan really starting to catch up. Both young men were noticing each other in ways neither had really anticipated. Though neither really raised much alarm over it. After all, they were planning, at the very next period, to ask out some cheerleaders.
